The Inn by the Lake was a great place to stay while we were visiting Halifax.
The staff were incredibly helpful and kind as it was our first time in Nova Scotia.
The property was lovely.
We would stay again
The room was very clean. The patio looked out at the bay. The bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was very good. The staff was very friendly. Only about 18 mins from the airport.

Excellent location, next to a lake. Accessible for guests with personal transport.
Property is dated, needs refurbishing. Restaurant was very good. Staff was excellent especially Tammy and Akshay.
Clean rooms, very comfortable bed, one of the best omelets I had in the restaurant. I would suggest that they have cream/sugar in the room for the coffee machine.
Great location. Convenient and historic. Unique and friendly.

Beautiful location and the staff were great. The hotel itself, however, could really use a major update. If you’re feeling nostalgic for the 1980s, you may love the décor. Overall, the location and service were definite highlights, but the property feels quite dated.
Most comfortable beds and bedding we have ever had! It was a very nice place.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was very nice. Bed was super comfy. Initially, room seemed clean, but after a day there it was apparent it hadn’t been deep cleaned in a long time. Wi-fi was so slow and shower water pressure was very low.
Extremely helpful staff (especially Lynn at the front desk). The property was good, and we dont have any complaints for our room; the restaurant and it's staff were very good as well. Overall the place does need some maintenance and would do well to invest in modernizing the premises.
